Haddack Sandwich was very good for lunch on Taco Tuesday. Reasonable prices for delicious food. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly.
The food was very good. The ribs were dry and a little overcooked. Our grandson has an egg allergy and it was difficult figuring a meal for him. Kids menu, coloring paper and crayons, large sandy court for volleyball, horseshoes. No changing table in rest room. Really not kid friendly. Pricey.

A cozy pub and restaurant with ample parking. My husband and I sat at the bar and both Susie and Wes were phenomenal bartenders and super friendly. Our stools were below the hand carved wooden pig-The Farm's logo and I could see the cake of dust on its derrière! The light fixtures/fans above us were also in need of cleaning. Despite this, the food was good as well as the margarita. We started with the Buffalo tenders which were a tad over fried and I wish it came with celery and carrot sticks. The bleu cheese dressing it came with was very good with hearty chunks of bleu cheese. Then my husband had the steak tips with mashed potatoes and a medley of fresh vegetables (summer squash, zucchini, Bermuda onion). He thought he tasted the butane from the grill on the tips. I had the baked fish tacos and was happy there were three and each taco was filled. Overall, we had a nice evening at The Farm.

This was our first visit to The Farm Bar & Grille and it exceeded our expectations! The food was great - ribs for my husband and the Rockporter salad with shrimp for me. Good size portions! Not too pricey. Everything was delicious. We got to sit outside on the deck and listen to an excellent musician - Adam Monaco. It was an all around nice evening!
Spoiled produce made up salad, topped with burnt Buffalo chicken and flabby bacon. The waitress didn’t ask if the barely touched meal was okay…nor she offer a container to take it home. Very telling!
Menu was different than what was posted online. Prices are much higher. We very much enjoyed the haddock bites appetizer and would recommend them. However, the baked haddock was not as good. It was wet, too moist, not flakey like the bites. The ribs were good , a little dry and crispy. The menu says meat falls off the bone, but more like the bone falls off the meat. Needed a knife to cut the meat. Overall, it was not bad, but not in a hurry to go back.

Rustic digs, with a friendly atmosphere, very nice outside seating arrangement. The menu
Has everything you may want for yourself and the family. There is an area outside where the kids can play, away from the outdoor seating area but parents can still keep an eye on the children, which is a big plus for young families.

The restaurant was extremely busy on a beautiful summer night. The service was chaotic, slow, and disjointed. But the food was excellent.
Our waitress, Kim, was the best! Like the food and the casual atmosphere. It can be a little loud.
Food was generally good (although we did have a problem with one dish) but the service was terrible. It took a long time for a server to take any order from us (which they did apologise for) but this was after a different waitress deliberately blanked me. Weren’t provided a kids menu (we had a 10 and 12 yo with us) which we later discovered they did have. One dish never arrived and we had to go and find a server as nobody came to check everything was ok and had arrived. The meat on one dish smelled like chemicals and when we sent it back the manager came out to defend their meat being fresh, but offered no apology and refused to even smell the meat.
The food here was amazing. It is an extremely friendly place for kids to go as well. They have yard games: corn hole; volleyball; horse shoe. The
